The Alpha Rho Chi Foundation was established in 1989 to advance education and research directed toward the discovery, promotion, furtherance and dissemination of knowledge related to architecture and the allied arts. To that end, the APX Foundation provides scholarships for Alpha Rho Chi members; sponsors professional programs at many levels; underwrites scholarly publications and the Alpha Rho Chi Medal program which recognizes leadership, scholarship, and service in students in both the US and Canada; and promotes new and innovative educational opportunities for students in architecture and the allied arts.
The Alpha Rho Chi Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 organization.
